15 in1 Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station 85W PD Resolution up to 8K/30Hz + 4K/30Hz - Primecables®

This dock is great. I use it everyday at my office with virtually no issues. I just wanted to add some observations that have not already been stated in reviews that others have written so far. ***Pros: (A) If you want to connect 2 (or even 1) HDMI displays to this dock, you can use the rear USB-C port. You can connect 2 HDMI displays (at 4k30) using PrimeCables USB-C to dual-HDMI adapter and still use the DP for a 3rd external display. (B) Front QC charge-only port is a great option when (in additional to charging cell phones) testing devices like dash cams, GPS units, etc, without having to find another charging source. ***Cons: (1) The microSD card slot is a little too deep. You will need long fingernails or some fine instrument to claw the memory card back out after you are finished. When it is inside, however, it works just fine. I would highly suggest using the SD card slot instead with a full-size SD card adapter, if possible. (2) If you power on the dock prior to powering on your computer, it is possible that the network port will not get detected. You will need to power off then on the TB3 dock, or you can boot into Windows first and then connect and power on the TB3 dock.

5/5

I didn't get to try out every feature, but this is why I give this unit a perfect 5/5 stars: The good: 1. Displayed 2 displays at 4k60 simultaneously (tested with Dell XPS 15 9500, Dell XPS 13 9350 and HP Elitebook 640 G9). 2. Lots of ports 3. Connected to PCs via Thunderbolt mode (vs simple USB-C mode) without a hitch (whereas others have not been so straightforward). 4. Nice understated design. Can be used vertically or horizontally. The bad: A. The dock-to-host cable is SHORT. If you want to use the dock for 2 different laptops and their TB ports are on opposite sides (e.g. one Dell XPS and one HP Elitebook), then you will probably have to position the dock directly behind the PCs where access to the ports on the dock may not be so easy and convenient. B. Product is EOL. Other: i. For the display output, use either a proper DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable or a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. DP to HDMI will not work. ii. Fingers crossed and hope it lasts!

68W GaN 2-Port Type C MacBook Fast PD Charger - PrimeCables®

4/5

A decent deal when it's on sale. The USB-C port does not support PPS, unfortunately, i.e. it would only "Fast Charge" and not "Super Fast Charge" my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. It had some issues when powering a USB-C dock with PD-passthrough to my laptop, but did fine when connected directly to the laptop. I tried a different charger from another brand and it didn't have any such issues.

4/5

Works very well with my Dell XPS 15 9500. However, it did not work at all with my HP Pavilion 13-an0010ca. I kept getting a "USB device not recognized." Both laptops were running Windows 11.
